approach based on the method developed by Kiselev (1998), <strong>and</strong> obtained excellent results<br />

describing LLE data for nitroethane <strong>and</strong> nitrobenzene + alkanes. As recently mentioned by<br />

Cai <strong>and</strong> Prausnitz (2004) this method can only be applied to VLE <strong>and</strong> not to LLE because<br />

a different order parameter is required. Studies are being carried in order to implement a<br />

crossover approach in the soft-SAFT EoS that can describe both VLE <strong>and</strong> LLE of<br />

mixtures.<br />

Figure III.32. LLE of C8F18 + CnH2n+2 mixtures at 0.1 MPa: n = 6 (diamonds), n = 7 (squares), n =<br />

lines correspond to the predictions from the soft-SAFT EoS. Stars represent the upper critical<br />

solution temperature for each mixture.<br />
